Too bad

Switch

SKYLERS POV

He dragged me outside to the courtyard. There were tons of people staring at us, causing me to put my head down. I was confused of why, then I finally understand. Taylor and I were holding fricken HANDS!!

We finally sat down at a table. Still. In . Silence.

"I know you told me not to talk, but can you let go of my hand?" I could feel myself starting to blush. No way. I wasn't into guys, and there's nothing that could make me fall for " kick ass Taylor".

He quickly let go of my hand and wiped it on his pants, as if I was infected.

"You're right I did tell you not to talk to me," he started, "but it's weird to eat outside of your locker, so I brought you out."

"Ok?"
I continued eating since we only had a limited time to eat before the next class.

I didn't get it we were sitting there still in silence. He had nothing to say as if he didn't know why he even brought me out himself.

"Well.. gotta go! See ya loser!" He waved and walked off.

He left me alone in public. At a table by myself was exactly what I was trying to avoid. The circular shape of the table just made the fact of having less people sitting at the table more clear.

Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. I prayed to god that it wasn't Eli or Ellie.

I turned and it was a girl I didn't know, but she seemed similar.

"Hello,"
She said as she sat next to me.

"Um hi,,"
I tried to be as subtle as possible.

"I saw you sitting alone, and uh wondered if we could talk." She started talking. Her voice was soft but clear, light but firm and most amazingly sweet. Not to be creepy or anything.

"Are y-you in my s-science class?" I sometimes had a stuttering problem when I got nervous.

"Yea! My name is Juliet!"
It suited her.

She had light brown, long hair.

Black bug glasses.

Green eyes, and not a single freckle.

"I'm sk..." I stopped, gulped and said the name almost everyone loved to make fun of. "Skyler"

She looked at me then looked down, then back at me with a smile.

Oh no, here it comes.

"What an interesting name! From danish origin? A fugitive!" She smiled brightly. Her boxy smile was so pure.

"That's c-cool," I didn't know what to say, then I panicked..

"I-i mean that y-you know th-that kinda stuff! Most people j-just make f-fun of my n-name!"

Shoot.

She giggled.

"I'm sorry about that. People can be jerks." She gave me a small sympathetic look, then pulled out her phone.

"You wanna trade digits?"

"Sure.." I nodded and handed her my phone.

Once we finished we traded back. I didn't like her. I liked someone else. She was just.. nice.

TAYLORS POV

I ran down the stairs no way Skyler would be in my History class as well.

I felt bad for just leaving him but, he was annoying me.

I had to get to class at some point anyway.

————— TIME SKIP——15 MIN———

TAYLORS POV

I sat at my table in the center of the room. The desks were in a weird arrangement. They were in twos again , but facing each other.

I hadn't bothered to looked at the assigned name across mine. He or she would be invalid to me this whole year as far as I cared. There were a couple people in the class I thought looked familiar, but I didn't remember names.

Suddenly I felt the tingly feeling that was all too similar...

I rubbed my eyes, and I heard a soft voice say, "but I don't wanna go to school mommy!"

"Shut up! I'm not your mom and you're thirteen years old! Not four!" Another voice that sounded more like me responded.

I knew who they were. And no it wasn't me talking out loud or arguing myself.

It was tay.

He came out when I was nervous, even if I didn't act nervous.

Taylor, me , is the host.

There's others too, but they aren't needed now.

I rubbed my eyes and knew tay wanted to switch. I didn't like when he switched out because he talked in a soft baby voice but, I let him.

TAYS POV

The class was so big. I looked around and smiled at all the other kids.

Taylor had just walked in, but I hadn't met the teacher myself.

"Excuse me miss?" I raised my hand and waved it around in circles.

"Umm yes Taylor?" She thought was Taylor which made me sad. I wasn't Taylor, I'm Tay.

"I'm Tay! What's your name?"

I heard a couple kids in the class giggle and look at me. I wasn't that sure why.

"I uhh, just told you, but ok my name is ms. Tuhyo."

" yay! Thanks!"

I smiled big at her and put my hand back in my pocket. I searched the pocket and found the paper clip Taylor left for me. He always cared for me and made sure I was comfortable.

While I bended the paper clip, a boy walked in that looked really nervous. Kinda like me , I thought, yay!

He looked around for his name tags on the desk and looked at me. Once he made eye contact he looked terrified. I was a little confused. Soon he found his seat, it happed to be the seat across from mine.

I didn't want him to be scared so I reached out my hand with a smile and said, "hi I'm Tay ! What's your name?!" I continued smiling as he cautiously took my hand.

"We've already met... remember you told me not to talk to you? I'm Skyler?" He responded and pulled his hand out of my hand.

Stupid Taylor always being mean and reserved. We can never make friends with him.

I looked at Skyler and didn't know what to say .

"Oh I'm sorry.."

There was an awkward silence for a few moments that I really wanted to break.

I thought of a great idea to fix Taylors coldness.

"Hey Skyler!"

"Yes?"

"Can I come over tonight?!"
